yesterday the kids had bridget mcgovern lewellyn come to their school to share her book, one child one planet. in honor of her visit and earth day and library week (which focused on taking care of the earth) the pta & our wonderful librarian gave each child (721 kids) in our school a white pine seedling to plant at their home.
we wrapped 800 seedling roots in foil, opened 800 brown bags, stuffed 721 pencils, seedling care instructions, and 721 notes from the pta. i don't think any of our pta board had any idea we would be working on this project for 3-4 hours thursday afternoon. as usual, we were all delusional and thought we'd be there for maybe an hour!
it was a big project, but so worthwhile. the kids were sooo excited to take home these little trees!
the kids loved the author and loved asking her questions. mostly personal questions about her dog and her children! she was so great and answered them all without hesitation. it was a great author visit!
